Default 3000GT won't start/stay on

I just recently bought a 93 GT. When I first bought it, the car wouldn't stay on for very long and you had to give it gas for it to run, but would still only do so for a few minutes. Then the battery, although only two months old, seemingly went dead. So I charged the battery for six hours and started it upand ran it for an hour. Then the next morning, the car wouldn't start.So I took out the battery and tookthe battery out of a F UCKING Ford escort and threw it in the car after charging it. This time the, car runs for about 4.5 hours and was driven down highways and the street. Then, It was driven home and the next morning the car wouldn't start. I checked theAlt and that wasn't the problem. What should I do?

How did you test the alternator?

Sounds like the only thing left is a draw that is killing the battery pretty fast.

its on the top, its just a screw that you have to loosen ( while the car is on) until the car stays running .

Adjusting the biss screw wont prevent a battery from dying.
